Lyrics
Mother
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They killed a man for doing wrong today
When all he ever did in life was look the other way
And with his verdict someone heard him pray
The crowd gathered around to see the look on his face
Will they ever know, the last words he spoke.
He Cried "Mother!"
As the people stood and stared.
He Cried "Mother."
And no one seemed to care
Early 25 years to his name
Only the good die young it's too hard to say
With a wife and child living back at home far from here where he dies all alone
Will they ever know, the last words he spoke
He Cried "Mother!"
As the people stood and stared
He Cried "Mother."
Sounded like a prayer
They killed a man for doing wrong today
